Hide axis values but keep axis tick labels in matplotlib

Question

I have this image:

plt.plot(sim_1[\'t\'],sim_1[\'V\'],\'k\')
plt.ylabel(\'V\')
plt.xlabel(\'t\')
plt.show()

I want to hide the numbers

Answer 1

Not sure this is the best way, but you can certainly replace the tick labels like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = range(10)
y = range(10)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xticks(x," ")
plt.show()

In Python 3.4 this generates a simple line plot with no tick labels on the x-axis. A simple example is here: http://matplotlib.org/examples/ticks_and_spines/ticklabels_demo_rotation.html

I'm new to python. Your mileage may vary in earlier versions. Maybe others can help?
